Overview
- Lindsey Heaps has been officially placed on Denver Summit’s active roster and is eligible to play for the club this weekend against the Portland Thorns.
- Head coach Nick Cushing publicly welcomed Heaps and said the U.S. women’s national team captain’s talent and leadership should make an immediate impact on the team’s play and locker room.
- Heaps signed a pre-contract with Denver earlier this year after four seasons with Olympique Lyonnais and six prior seasons with the Portland Thorns, where she recorded 105 appearances and 31 goals.
- The match will be played at Centennial Stadium near her hometown of Golden, Colorado, and will be carried nationally on CBS with streaming on Paramount+, raising the profile of both her debut and the expansion club.
- Denver Summit enter the moment seeking a lift after mixed results since the World Cup break, and the club will continue playing at Centennial until its planned $150 million permanent stadium opens in 2028.
